This German trio sing in Eurovision English and play commercial synthesized 'new-wave' pop as though we are still in the 1980s.
Their debut release is referred to as an EP even though it lasts 43 minutes with 8 tracks, although admittedly this includes two sprawling seven minute remixes of the tunes Storm and You Will Be by synth-man Lanny May.
On other tracks, Ina Becker and Hannes Matthias sing over the plodding synthetic beats trying to be "shimmering" and "seductive" but failing miserably.
Ina has a tunelessly grating voice while his is breathy and characterless.
What they do sound like is The Human League minus the hooks.
Not good.
